Questions & Answers
Poodles are one of the most popular breeds of dogs in the world. They are highly intelligent, loyal and enthusiastic dogs that make great companions for all types of people. Poodles come in a few sizes, toy, miniature and standard. Depending on the size, their coat can vary from curly to wavy and can be slightly shaved down for low maintenance pet grooming. Poodles are generally quite healthy dogs that require regular exercise and attention from their owners. They have an inherent need to please their owners and respond well to training.
Whether or not Poodles will cause an individual to have allergies is not an absolute, as everyone's reaction to specific breeds can be different. Generally speaking, Poodles are considered non-shedding dogs, meaning they produce less dander which can be a source of allergies. Furthermore, their coats are typically hypoallergenic and are considered to be of low-allergen breeds. While Poodles may produce less allergens, there are still individual factors to take into consideration. An individual's allergies could still be triggered by other environmental factors caused by having a Poodle.
Poodles are highly intelligent and active dogs that require a nutritionally-balanced diet to maintain their energy and vitality levels. Premium brands such as Wellness Complete Health Natural Dry Dog Food, Lamb & Sweet Potato Formula are ideal for Poodles, as they are packed with key ingredients for optimal nutrition, such as healthy fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Additionally, Wellness Complete Health Natural Dry Dog Food is specifically formulated for small and medium breeds, and contains no artificial flavors, colors, or by-products.
Before getting a Poodle, it's important to purchase some essential items to ensure your pup is healthy and happy. One must-have is a comfortable bed and crate for when your pup needs a place to rest and some solitude. A good quality food and water dish and appropriate food selections are another essential. Collars, safety harnesses, and leashes should also be included, and remember to get some high quality dog toys to keep your pup entertained. Of course, routine visits to the veterinarian should also be scheduled to keep your pup in top shape.
Poodles may not be considered "big dogs" in the traditional sense when compared to larger breeds such as Mastiffs or Great Danes; however, they still hold up well compared to other breeds. A Standard Poodle is considered a medium-to-large size breed, with an average height between 18 to 24 inches and weight between about 45 to 70 pounds. Miniature and Toy Poodles, on the other hand, are both considerably smaller, with an average height between 10 to 15 inches and 8 to 10 pounds.
Absolutely! Running with your Poodle can be a great way to stay active and bond with your pup. Just remember that Poodles, though active dogs, are not built for long-distance running like their breed parent, the Standard Poodle. Start off slow, and work to gradually increase the time and distance you and your pup run at a comfortable pace for them. Consider running alternating days, where some days you walk and some you run. It would also be beneficial to make sure to bring plenty of water on your runs so your pup can take breaks to stay hydrated.
Poodles can generally get along with children, but there is no guarantee. It's important to remember that all dogs, including Poodles, may react differently around young children due to a variety of influences. This includes the individual dog's history, upbringing, and physical and emotional needs. It is always best to introduce the two slowly as children learn to understand a dog's body language and the dog can learn to understand a child's behavior. It also helps if children are taught how to properly interact with a puppy or dog.
Training a Poodle will require patience and consistency. Start with basic commands such as sit, stay, come, and down. Break the training session into frequent, shorter periods of about 10-15 minutes so your Poodle doesn't get overwhelmed or overstimulated. Use treats as rewards and give verbal praise when your pup successfully completes a task. Offer verbal commands and physical cues; for example, to help your pup learn Sit, place a treat in your palm and hold it in front of their nose until they sit for the treat.
